Get Ready for the Cold Weather!

Summer is coming to an end (fall 2009 begins a week from today!); over the next few months the weather is just going to get colder. Of course, with winter months comes the need for a heater. Like everything else, there are so many different types of heaters. How do you know which one to choose?

By Area
People usually buy their heating or cooling devices depending on how much area it covers. There are space heaters, which are for personal spaces and small rooms. The Vornado SoleAir is an example for a personal space heater: this unit keeps your body warm by heating up only your feet! Other Vornado heaters use vortex action technology to blend hold and cold air to maintain a comfortable, warm temperature.

Larger rooms usually use garage heaters because they can heat more space. With 19,000 BTUs, the QMark BRH562 easily warms up large areas in a short amount of time. Infrared heaters warm people and objects without affecting the air quality and temperature. Infrared units like the HGW-308R wall mounted micathermic heater by Soleus save energy and operate silently to provide maximum comfort.

By Design
Buying appliances for your home sometimes requires you to be picky. After all, you wouldn't want something hideous standing next to your wall for everyone to see. Some heaters are designed with specific aesthetic qualities to provide optimum heat and unique designs. Electric fireplace heaters are extremely popular when it comes to aesthetics. Dimplex, DeLonghi and NewAir provide electric stoves that look like real fireplaces but don't come with the terrible mess or smell of a real wood-burning fireplace. Deco Heat heaters are also very popular. Like the Deco Breeze fans, the Deco Heat heaters look great and operate with a lot less energy than most heaters. For example, the Deco Heat DHH0386 oscillating space heater has a beautiful mahogany finish, and it warms the room up almost instantly!

Big Heat Can Come in Small Packages

Space Heaters

When thinking about heaters, large bulky items often tend to come to mind. So what are your options when you need to heat smaller areas? Space heaters are a good solution to this problem. They use low amounts of energy and are often portable or wall mountable.

When purchasing space heaters it is important to look at electric ones to help avoid high prices and carbon monoxide poisoning. Space heaters have come a long way since the 1970s. Newer models use ceramic designs to eliminate potential threats of fires or burns. They also include safety features such as tip over safety switches and thermal cutoff switches to further decrease chances of a mishap.

Many space heaters now rely on convection heating. Convection heating is the heating of air in the immediate air next to the heater. As the air heats, it rises and then pushes the cold air down for that air to be heated until the air in your room or house is totally warm. Space heaters also tend to use radiant technology which is the heating of immediate objects until the room gets warm. They are very cost effective. Our staff has reviewed and tested numerous space heater and have posted a recommendation of an exemplary space heater.
